A Simple and casual fall fashion look for men 

1. A rugged well fitting vest. Maybe use one from a three piece suit that you don't get to wear.
2. A light weight plaid shirt that doesn't smell like the lumber yards. Now that LL Bean has a stylish new look, it is worth checking out.
3. The right worn in jeans. Doesn't matter where they are from, as long as they fit! 
4. The boots that show you have walked around in them enough, but aren't exposing your toes!
